    Hello Rick,

    I am wondering if anyone knows why this happens? Its not all the
    time but the same node always? It has a node statement, address
    correct etc...

    It does lead me to another ? tho. I had a nodestatement for that node that just had wh2bbs.us but binkd was trying bbs.wh2bbs.us? So it
    makes me wonder if I had a node statement in binkd.cfg why did it use
    the nodelist instead of that node statement?

    Do you use nodelist.pl in your binkd.cfg? Or maybe you have a different binkd.cfg with bbs.wh2bbs.us in it and sometimes you start binkd with that binkd.cfg? Try to find the second configuration:

    sudo updatedb
    locate binkd

    I do use binkd style nodelist so in my binkd.cfg I have all of my node statements and after the node statements I have an include for the nodelist. So does binkd read the nodelist before the node statements?

    No, it reads the addresses from left to right. If, for any reason, the first address is not accessible, then it reads the next one. It looks like sometimes there was a problem with the first address.

    Increase the *loglevel* and it might give you more info.

    means dns is either not working or node is have hostname that have no ip in dns
